Air Conditioner Installation West St. Paul

Building A Home & The AC Installation – A Historical Perspective

West St. Paul homes, and homes built all across the country, built prior to the 1980’s used a rule of thumb when allocating money to certain parts of the new construction project. It was generally accepted that ⅓ of the building cost would be allocated to the mechanical aspects of the house, the heating and cooling appliances and ductwork, the plumbing, the electrical, etc. This rule, while perhaps not producing a house that looked as aesthetically pleasing as homes today, ensured that each project left enough money allocated to allow for a reliable, top of the line HVAC system, systems that air conditioner installation West St. Paul companies could stand behind. That is why, often times you hear the phrase, “they don’t make things like they used to”…

Well, its not that manufacturers don’t put out reliable units anymore, its more the fact that when new construction projects go up, especially in the past thirty years, they only left about 6% of the total cost of the home to the appliance side of things. People wanted granite counter tops, and beautiful wood flooring, instead of a competent air conditioner. This means, after the plumbing, and electrical projects have been completed, only a an extremely small amount of money is left over for the HVAC system. So, West St. Paul companies were forced out of the equation altogether, cheap, unreliable, builder model units were put into homes, units that breakdown constantly. The HVAC system became unimportant, pushed aside to achieve the aesthetic ambitions of consumers.

Bad AC Installation Practices Today

Roughly half of the units we put in throughout the year stem from this issue. That means consumers are spending money on new units, because they went the cheap route to begin with. But that isn’t even the worst part. Most air conditioner installation West St. Paul companies still to this day cut corners on their installation. They still use builder grade models. Instead of standing by reliable appliances, they decided to hop on the ‘cheap’ bandwagon and give consumers what they thought they wanted – namely inexpensive HVAC equipment.

The irony of the situation is staggering. Another fourth of the West St. Paul installations we do on a yearly basis, are installation that stem from companies putting in shoddy units, and cutting corners to keep the cost down.
